अविगत गति कछु कहत न आवै

Beyond Words Is the Unmanifest

The verses

  1. अविगत गति कछु कहत न आवै । ज्यों गूँगे मीठे फलको रस अंतर्गतही भावे ॥

    Meaning: The nature of the Unmanifest defies all speech and art, like a mute savoring sweet fruit solely within the heart.

  2. परमस्वाद सबही जु निरंतर अमित तोष उपजावे । मन वाणीको अगम अगोचर सो जाने जो पावे ॥

    Meaning: A supreme savor yielding boundless, ceaseless contentment to the soul; Beyond the reach of mind and speech, known only to the one who attains it.

  3. रूप रेख गुण जाति जुगति बिनु निरालम्ब मन चकृत धावे । सब विधिअगमविचारहिंतातेसूर सगुण लीलापद गावे ॥

    Meaning: Lacking form, outline, attribute, caste, or device, the mind wanders bewildered without any anchor; Deeming Him unapproachable in every way, Surdas sings the praises of His embodied divine plays.
